Roofer Insurance

Roofing carries two risks a standard policy handles poorly: work at height, where a fall or a dropped tool becomes a serious claim, and water getting in after you've finished. We place cover with insurers who write height work properly and won't dispute a leak that surfaces later.

Cover

What roofers need covered

Public liability with height work

For injury or damage from your work — a dropped tool, a fall, damage below — at the $10m–$20m limits contracts require, with your work at height disclosed so it isn't excluded.

Tools & equipment

Your gear, harnesses and equipment against theft and damage, on site and in transit. The kit that keeps you safe and working.

Water ingress after you've finished

A roof that leaks after you've signed off is the roofer's costly, delayed claim. We make sure completed-work and resulting water damage are on the policy, not assumed away.

Cover, limits and examples shown are general in nature and subject to eligibility, underwriting and the terms of the issued policy.

FAQ

Roofers insurance questions.

Speak with our team on 1300 080 323.

What insurance does a roofer need?
Public liability at $10m–$20m is essential, with your work at height disclosed, plus tools for your gear. Because a leak can appear after the job, completed-work cover matters too. We build it around the roofing you actually do.
Is work at height covered, or is it excluded?
Height work is a common exclusion or loading on generic policies, and it's the core of your job. We place cover with insurers who write roofing and make sure work at height is included, so a fall or dropped-tool claim responds.
Am I covered if the roof leaks after I've left?
That's a completed-work claim, and whether it's covered depends on the policy. We read the terms and place the best available cover for water damage that surfaces after you've finished.
